SM? ?,AnT' Praises McCain's P. R. t. Articles TO the Editor et tha Kvertnj PMa Ltdgtr: Sir I want to congratulate you upon George Nox McCain's articles setting forth so plainly to the publlo why we have to pay flye-ccnt trolley fare, and tfS in? ",rat unless the citizens of Philadelphia are content with what tho r. XL T. Is giving thorn, of a raise In faro to six cents or more. It la an outrage tho way thn publlo Is made to suffer because the p. n T. was so greedy at first and gobbled up all the streets and all underlying companies at an exorbitant rate of interest. The P. H. T. has an arrangement with tho city so that there Is no competition. Now If they can't make any money, whose fault Is It? Let them bo treated llko other business concerns. If they can't make It go, hand It all back to the city. Then let somo new company be formed nnd pay tho old underlying com panies 6 per cent on their Investment, and tho new company can give better service than now and only charge throe cents and make money. J. K. SCHULTZ. PhlladelphlaMarch 20. Proportional Representation To th Editor of tht Evening Pubtio Ltdoer: Sir Willi you kindly tell me what Is proportional representation? M J.

This is done by electing the representatives at large or In districts, each of which eleotB several. In each silch district the ballots aro so marked and counted as to glvo each group its fair share of thd members elected In the district. Club Favors Prohibition To the Alitor at 'the EwnlflO Public J.tiotr S,t The legislative committee ot uie New Century Club of Newtown. Bucks county, Penna. which organization rep. resents a membership, of over ion women calls attentjon ta tho following facts as arguments ..why the elghteentn ameridment to the constitution of tne United States and the Volstead act should be sustained by all law-abiding cltisens. ' First Because the amendment la le gally a tmrt of the constitution. Hecond. Because tho Volstead act provides for tho enforcement of this utndidtnont , , Third. Becauso prohibition Is on every hand reducing crime, emptying jails and almshouses, bringing Joy nnd comfort to heartbroken womanhood, restoring seit rcspect and physical, mental and moral health to manhood, clothing and nour ishing neglected childhood, producing prosperity, eliminating pauperism, as to the much-discussed personal liberty: once a man had a right to kill his neighbor on sight : to kidnap negroes for slaves; to woo his wife by felling tier with a club ; to sell his child Into slav ery; but law has abolished this per sonal liberty, to tho ndvantago of civ ilization. In fact civilization la merely another name for the curtailment and regulation of personal liberty. In an old Book wo read: "If meat maketh my brother to offend, I will cat no meat while tho world stands." Can not Christian America say: "If drink maketh my brother to offend and it does I will drink no alcoholic liquor, lest It makes my brother to offend 7" IiEaiSLATIVlS COMMITTED.
